With this in mind, supporters were excited by the prospect of Barella coming to Anfield, who would be the young man stepping into the shoes of Georginio Wijnaldum. The Dutchman is on the brink of turning 30 and his contract situation yet to be resolved.
He is a baller. One of the few natural box to box players. Defends, creates, scores, and seems to be the liverpool type of person. Perfect wijnaldum replacement.
